SUMMER WARS - Detroit Film Theatre - Friday 11/15 & Sunday 11/17

When young Kenji solves a 2,056 digit math riddle sent to his cell phone, he unwittingly breaches the security barricade protecting Oz, a globe-spanning virtual world where people and governments interact through avatars. This intelligent cyberpunk/sci-fi story is a visual tour-de-force of anime; Oz itself is a hallucinatory pixel parade of cool avatar designs, kung fu jackrabbits, toothy bears, and a bursting rainbow of colors.
